TOOL FOR PLANING ANI) FINISHING THE EDGES OF BOOT AND SHOE SOLES.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 24,494, dated June 21, 1859.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, H. SAUERBIER, of the city of Newark, in the countyof Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements inTools Used by Shoemakers', technically termed C0llishes"; and I doAdeclare the following to be a full and exact description thereof,reference being had to the drawings accompanying this specification andwhich make part of the same.

The nature of my invention consists in combining in one, the two toolsused by shoemakers termed the edge plane and the collish, in such amanner as to enable workmen to use both alternately without layingeither out of hand.

In the drawings Figure l represents a double collish with the edge planeplaced transversely to the operating faces of the collishes. As thevarious thickness of the edges of the soles of shoes require variedwidths in collishes, the sizes are numbered as shown by the Figs. 5 and6 in the drawings, and the width of the edge planes a are made tocorrespond with the width of the collishes with which it may becombined. Fig. 2 is a single collish with the edge plane parallel to theface of the collish. Fig. 3- is the knife ofthe edge plane.

0 is the cutting edge of the knife.

On the side b of the stock of the collishes at the edge thereof a rabbetis sunk the width and depth of the 'width and depth of the knife Fig. 3and the knife is held in place by the screw CZ. Thus after the rough cutaround the shoe the operator can shave to a nicety without touching theupper leather and finish the edge by friction with the collish by justturning the tool in his hand.

I do not claim either the collish or edge plane as new. But

That I do claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- Thecombination of the collish and edge plane substantially in the mannerand for the purpose herein above specified.
